ISNB: 1426711379 Everyone comes from a culture, and weds that culture into his/her understanding of politics, family, religion, etc. Often in the past, people have mistaken the trappings of Western culture to be parts of Christianity. How can missionaries (and Christians in general) present Christianity as it is, apart from our American culture, and help those in other cultures see its truth, without trying to make them Americans? Make sure to give particular examples of things that are a part of Western culture that might be considered part of Christianity, though it is not.
